Introduced by: W. B. (Benny) Keister | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles | history
SUMMARY AS PASSED:
Solid waste management; permits. Modifies the application requirements for a permit for a new or expanded municipal solid waste landfill when the owner and operator of the landfill is a public service authority of which the governing body of the locality in which the facility is located is a member. Currently, an applicant for a new or expanded municipal solid waste landfill must submit with its application a certification from the governing body of the locality in which the facility is to be located that an agreement regarding the operation of the facility has been reached between the applicant and the governing body. The existing statute provides that this certification is not required only when the governing body is to be the owner and operator of the landfill. The bill provides that such a certification also shall not be required when the owner and operator of the landfill is a public service authority of which the governing body is a member.
